Lucky Number

What You Do:

1. Shuffle and deal 2 rows of 5 cards each, as shown in the picture below.
2. Scan the cards for sums of 13. (For the purposes of this game, aces = 1, jacks =11, queens = 12, and kings = 13.)
3. Remove all combinations of 13, and place these cards in a discard pile. (In the example below, the king of spades could be removed, as well as 8 + 5 and 7 + 6.)
4. Deal new cards into the empty spaces, using the remaining pack.
5. Play until no more moves can be made. If you succeed in dealing and clearing the entire deck, you have won!

Variations:

• Change the amount cards you work with at one time by adding or subtracting a row, changing the size of a row, etc.
• Remove the kings and make the required sum 12, remove the kings and queens and make the sum 11, or remove all face cards and change the required sum to 10.
• Instead of finding sums, find differences of 6.
